Leverkusen showed no signs of nervousness after Bayern's 8-1 statement a day before. Wolfsburg's red card in the 28th minute was already a huge advantage of course, minutes later they managed to get the lead in the game. Another beauty by Wirtz after the one in the EL. There are still some tricky games left for Bayer: in Dortmund, at home against Stuttgart, in Frankfurt. Games like Freiburg away or Bremen and Hoffenheim at home are also not a walk in a park. But of course they have to bring it home now, still undefeated, incredible. Don't know when Boniface comes back, maybe after the national team break, it would help too, his absence is probably their only weakness right now, they have to work harder for goals.
Second strong game by Bayern in a row. First Lazio, now this 8-1. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to keep Tuchel for the rest of the season, all of a sudden they look like a team again as they don't play for the coach anymore, but only for themselves.
Stuttgart very consistant, hard job for BVB and RBL to get a CL spot, at least if we don't get a top 2 UEFA place, which is likely.
Eintracht looks better now. It's different to previous seasons where they showed their best face in Europe while struggling in the league. Maybe because it was 'only' the ECL? Or is it the inexperienced coach who couldn't handle international games? Anyway, as of now they are back in their beloved EL! Behind them there are a lot of teams fighting for the 7th place.
Lets see if any of the last three teams can catch one of the three teams above. If not, it's a three way battle for the playoff spot, I prefer Köln over the other two. Good stadium and fans.
